Welcome!

 

Welcome to the Division of Forests and Lands website

The mission of the Division of Forests and Lands is to protect and promote the values provided by trees and forests.

Our mission is accomplished through responsible management of the State's forested resources; by providing forest resource information and education to the public; and the protection of these resources for the continuing benefit of the State's citizens, visitors, and forest industry.
